Canadian-born forward Daniel Jebbison had two reasons to celebrate Friday.
Sheffield United rewarded the 17-year-old from Milton, Ont., with a new long-term contract.
And Jebbison was one of 28 players called up by the England under-20 team for a training camp later this month.
Jebbison made headlines May 16 when he became the youngest player in Premier League history at 17 years 309 days to score on his first start in England’s top tier in a 1-0 win at Everton.
Path to the Premier League
Jebbison, 17, originally signed with the club in July 2019, having impressed during a trial after moving to the UK in 2017.
He scored 13 times in 24 appearances for the club s youth teams while also joining Chorley for a short-term loan in 2020.
Jebbison made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace before then scoring against Everton, becoming the youngest ever player to score in his first Premier League start.
What s been said? The biggest thing is that you notice him when he’s on the pitch. His size, his athleticism and his work ethic makes you do that, Sheffield United interim boss Paul Heckingbottom said recently.
